AVIATION SAFETY: FAA's Risk-Based Oversight for Repair Stations Could Benefit from Additional Airline Data and Performance Metrics

Note: The electronic version of this report was reissued September 2, 2016, to correct errors related to figure 1 on page 10.

Note: The United States and Canada have a bilateral aviation safety agreement under which FAA and the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Directorate (TCCA) each grant mutual recognition of the other's Part 145 repair station certificates. FAA does not require Canadian repair stations (referred to as Approved Maintenance Organizations) to obtain a FAA-issued repair station certificate to conduct work on U.S. commercial aircraft as long as a repair station maintains a Canadian repair station certificate and is inspected by TCCA. Because of this mutual recognition, there are no FAA-certificated repair stations in Canada.

REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS: Comprehensive Compliance Strategy and Expanded Use of Data Could Strengthen IRS's Efforts to Address Noncompliance

Note: Amounts reported in 2013 dollars. Data pre-2011 are from SOI Historical tables. We did not include the predecessor to the AOTC—the Hope Credit—in this chart because the Internal Revenue Service did not publish estimates for it.

HIGHER EDUCATION: Actions Needed to Improve Access to Federal Financial Assistance for Homeless and Foster Youth

a) Percentage estimate is not statistically different from the foster youth estimate at the 95 percent confidence level.

Notes: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding. All foster youth comparisons are statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level, unless otherwise indicated. The percentage estimates for all populations have margins of error of within plus or minus 10 percentage points. We compared foster youth to low-income students because most foster youth have incomes within the lowest income quartile of all college-enrolled youth. The "all other students" category includes all students who are not foster youth, regardless of income level.

HIGHER EDUCATION: Actions Needed to Improve Access to Federal Financial Assistance for Homeless and Foster Youth

Notes: Figures and subtotals may not add to 100 due to rounding. The non-profit category refers to private non-profit colleges. Data on 2-year colleges also include some certificate programs that are up to 3 years in length.

FEDERAL LOW-INCOME PROGRAMS: Multiple Programs Target Diverse Populations and Needs

FEDERAL LOW-INCOME PROGRAMS: Multiple Programs Target Diverse Populations and Needs

Note: Unlike the official measure, the SPM adjusts for taxes. It subtracts federal, state, and local income taxes, and payroll taxes. It also takes into account federal and state tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, as well as other tax credits.

Housing assistance, in the SPM, is based on households who reported living in public or subsidized housing in the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement. These could include recipients of housing programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, other federal agencies, or state or local governments.

Medical Device Companies: Trends in Reported Net Sales and Profits Before and After Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Notes:

The figure contains a scale break in the vertical axis (dollars) to better show the change in net sales for medium-sized and small-sized companies, which combined represented about 5 percent of total net sales for all companies reviewed in each year.

Data are adjusted to 2014 U.S. dollars using the gross domestic product deflator.

We defined large-sized companies as those that had a market capitalization—that is, the total combined value of the company's stock—in 2013 of over $1 billion, medium-sized companies as those that had a market capitalization of $1 billion to greater than $100 million, and small-sized companies as those that had a market capitalization of $100 million or less.

CLIMATE CHANGE: Improvements Needed to Clarify National Priorities and Better Align Them with Federal Funding Decisions

Notes: The solid line from CEQ to the blue boxes indicates its role in administering these groups, and the dashed lines from OSTP, OECC, and OMB indicates their involvement. OSTP co-chairs, with NOAA and CEQ, the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force, and OSTP and CEQ jointly administer and co-chair the National Ocean Council.

According to technical comments from CEQ, OMB, and OSTP, figure 4 does not include all climate activities, such as individual agency regulations and initiatives. Some of these are described in more detail in appendix VII. CEQ, OMB, and OSTP also emphasized that informal processes and ad hoc meetings play key roles in setting climate priorities in addition to the formal processes described in figure 4. In technical comments, CEQ, OMB, and OSTP submitted table 3 in appendix VIII as supplemental information on how federal climate change activities are coordinated.

AIRPORT PRIVATIZATION: Limited Interest despite FAA's Pilot Program

Notes: Boardings shown are for calendar year 2013. General aviation airports generally do not have scheduled commercial service and have less than 2,500 boardings a year. Niagara Falls International Airport was classified as a joint-use military and general aviation reliever airport at the time it was in the APPP. The airport is now classified as a commercial service airport and had 99,958 boardings in calendar year 2013.
